# SDL_GetRectEnclosingPoints

Calculate a minimal rectangle enclosing a set of points.

## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3/SDL_rect.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_rect.h)

## Syntax

```c
SDL_bool SDL_GetRectEnclosingPoints(const SDL_Point * points,
                           int count,
                           const SDL_Rect * clip,
                           SDL_Rect * result);

```

## Function Parameters

|                |                                                                                  |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **points**     | an array of [SDL_Point](SDL_Point) structures representing points to be enclosed |
| **count**      | the number of structures in the `points` array                                   |
| **clip**       | an [SDL_Rect](SDL_Rect) used for clipping or NULL to enclose all points          |
| **result**     | an [SDL_Rect](SDL_Rect) structure filled in with the minimal enclosing rectangle |

## Return Value

Returns [SDL_TRUE](SDL_TRUE) if any points were enclosed or
[SDL_FALSE](SDL_FALSE) if all the points were outside of the clipping
rectangle.

## Remarks

If `clip` is not NULL then only points inside of the clipping rectangle are
considered.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
